As far as rain goes, you either look ridiculous on the bike or ridiculous in the pub. Take your pick. Rivendell bikes sell the combo "gorton's limited edition" rain cape and hat.
Yes, the kiddie trailer takes care of Bragi's issue with volume.
But another thought. My wife and I talked talked today about getting a small cart for walking to the store, which we could easily do and she would like to do more of. Something like this and a change of pace to the bike and panniers. (We live about 1 km from the grocery store, although it is uphill to get home...)
